Street Scenes in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico


Driving over to my car mechanic's shop in Col. Guadalupe a couple of weeks ago, I did a double take as I came around the corner and saw this delightfully whimsical mural painted on a white wall.

I'm always jumping out of the car to take photos of something.  I don't think anything of it.  ( I do always pull over and not block traffic).  This time as I was photographing I noticed a couple of policeman watching me.  I waved, yelled "Magnifico" and they smiled and waved back.

Isn't it great?

The guy on the bike leading the psychedelic cow is just fabulous.  A delightful street scene for all to enjoy.

Viva Mexico!

Thank you for sharing that. May I borrow one of the images to use as my screensaver? I love the colors.

I need to see the mural before I leave. Anything with death in it alcways attracts my attention.

Then if you like that you need to see Anado and Richard's house, Las Rana's and Timmyland........HOPEFULLY I'll be well next week.

I love that! It's just down the street from our house. There is another one, not as colourful though, about a block down the road alongside the arroyo. Someone tried it across the arroyo too, but it was covered in graffiti almost immediately. I'm glad the others are graffiti-free so far.

There is a big difference with regards to art and cuisine in North Central part of Mexico. I love where you live and am so excited that I get to have a regular dose of eye candy from one of the most beautiful of cities. Nice!
